Cornelius Chapman was Springfield's oldest living resident at 108 years old.

History

Chapman built the first log cabin in Springfield. He introduced the toothbrush to the citizens of Springfield and for years was the town's only pro basketball player, which put him at a disadvantage during games with other teams. During the market crash of 1929, he helped people jump out of tall buildings to avoid disgrace, and he once took a bullet for Huey Long. Unfortunately, Long had already been hit by five bullets; Chapman took the sixth bullet of the volley.

Death

At the Springfield Pride Awards, which were co–hosted by Kent Brockman and Britney Spears, Cornelius Chapman received an award for being Springfield's oldest living resident. While accepting his award, Chapman received a kiss from Spears, which caused him to suffer a heart attack, whereupon he immediately died.

After Chapman collapsed, Brockman nonchalantly shoved him behind the podium. After conducting a quick survey of the audience members' ages, Brockman unfastened the award from Chapman's frozen grip and bestowed it on Springfield's next–oldest living resident, Mr. Burns.
